What are the differences between limestone and sandstone?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock made of calcium carbonate, while sandstone is made of sand-sized grains of minerals like quartz and feldspar. Limestone is typically lighter in color and softer than sandstone, which is usually harder and more porous.
What type of lithology is expected in the shoal areas - sandstone or limestone?
Sandstone is more commonly found in shoal areas due to its ability to withstand wave energy and erosion better than limestone. Sandstone is a coarse-grained sedimentary rock formed from cemented sand grains, while limestone is a softer, carbonate rock that can be more easily dissolved by water.
How does limestone and sandstone smell?
Limestone typically does not have a noticeable smell. Sandstone may have a mineral-like smell due to its composition, but it is generally not strong or distinct.
What are the key differences between limestone and sandstone in terms of their composition and geological characteristics?
Limestone is primarily made of calcium carbonate, while sandstone is composed of sand-sized grains of minerals like quartz and feldspar. Limestone forms from the accumulation of marine organisms, while sandstone forms from the consolidation of sand deposits. Limestone is typically softer and more porous than sandstone, which is harder and more resistant to weathering.

Does limestone become sandstone when heated?
No. Limestone changes to Marble when it undergoes intense heat and pressure.
When limestone is heated does I become sandstone?
Once burnt limestone turns into calcium oxide which is known as quicklime.

Is the Colosseum made up of sandstone or limestone?

Where is sandstone and limestone located and why is oil found there?

Is sandstone organic?
Sandstone is not an organic sedimentary rock, but limestone is.
Can sandstone turn in to marble?
No. Limestone turns into marble, not sandstone.
What rock is squeezed and heated to form marble?
Limestone is the rock that is squeezed and heated to form marble. The high pressures and temperatures cause the limestone to recrystallize and become the metamorphic rock known as marble.
What is the weakest rock?
limestone or sandstone
